SCHOOL HIGHLIGHT:

BOHUNT WORTHING SHARES CREATIVE STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENTS

In the summer of 2018, Year 10 Bohunt School Worthing student Kira had her self-portrait selected as the publicity for the National Saturday Club art exhibition at Somerset House in London. Kira’s stunning portrait was selected from the work of over 1500 students from around the country and was seen by several thousand visitors to the exhibition and many thousands more across London billboards and tube stations.

Kira joined Bohunt School Worthing in December 2017. Having previously found secondary school difficult, her parents reported an enormous positive change in their daughter’s outlook upon life; Kira and her parents attribute this change to the school and the National Saturday Club.

Staff and students at Bohunt School Worthing were delighted to see Kira’s artistic talents being recognised at this prestigious national event. We are delighted to share Kira’s accomplishments, they are testament to the huge effort she has made in the past few months and we share her family’s pride.

Bohunt School Worthing puts a great deal of emphasis and importance on expressive arts and so we are very proud to share that not one, but two of our students attended the National Saturday Club awards ceremony for the exhibition at Somerset House in London. Flo in Year 11 also received a certificate from Sir John and Lady Sorrell for her art work.

Flo recently won first prize in the under 18’s category of ‘Open 18’ exhibition at Worthing Museum and Art Gallery. Flo’s work, alongside other artists’ exhibits are available for sale. The exhibition runs until March 2019.

It is hugely rewarding to see our amazingly hard working and talented students being recognised at a national level, we know that this is just the start of their journey and the work they do in and outside of school is helping to nurture their talent and to build their confidence. That winning combination of hard work, talent and confidence will ensure that these two students are destined for great things. We look forward to supporting them as their careers and passions progress.
